EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 7
Writing CSS For Others—by Harry Roberts

"I think a lot of us CSS authors are doing it wrong. We are selfish by nature; we get into our little bubbles, writing CSS (as amazing as it may be) with only ourselves in mind. How many times have you inherited a CSS file that’s made you say “WTF” at least a dozen times? HTML has a standard format and syntax that everyone understands. For years, programmers have widely agreed on standards for their respective
languages. CSS doesn’t seem to be there yet: everyone has their own favorite format, their own preference between single-line and multi-line, their own ideas on organization, and so on".
